Text file recovery after deleting or quick formatting

Post author By admin
Post date 2016/04/13

If you deleted a text file or you made a quick format that erased an important text file, first of all, if it is your boot disk do not boot from it again as it may overwrite the sectors where the lost data is stored and now marked empty. If it is not a boot disk, do not write any new data to the disk.

If you followed the recommendations above, there is a good change the data can be recovered. Usually you would like to use Photorec from another computer or from a live Linux CD and save the recovered files to another disk.

However if the text file did not have an extension (text files created with gedit do not have extensions by default), you will not be able to use Photorec. In that case you may try the command bellow from a live Linux CD or from another linux machine.

sudo grep –binary-files=text -C 1000 ‘tex string on the deleted file’ /dev/sdX1 > outfile.txt

You just need to remember a word that was in the text file you are trying to recover. It should be a word that does not come up on any other text file. Then edit /dev/sdX1 and change sdX1 with the correct path to the disk where the erased text is.

Good luck with the recovery! If this text was useful, please do not forget to link to this blog.

We launched a new data recovery service for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. We are using mobile devices more and more and the data they contain is also dear to us. We may loose our data on the iPhone for many reasons.

Three problems that occur often are: mistakenly deleted pictures, all the data on the phone lost after restore or doing a firmware upgrade, phones that do not boot or are bricked.

LoreaTec is based in Kawaguchi, Japan, next to Tokyo. However we take orders from customers worldwide. If you need to recover the data from your phone, we recommend to turn it off as soon as possible to avoid overwriting the sectors where the deleted data was stored. Then you can bring it to our IT centre or ship it to
